Re: Perpendicular 2D snap to line

I drew a line from 0,0 to 4,3,10 and tried 'ppp while drawing another line and snaping to it. It returned a different result than mine or Per? Did not have any elevation on the endpoint either. Is it for snaping to something other than a line? I use ^P(or PerpEnt (load "PerpEnt.lsp"))(PerpEnt); in a macro for the line/pline/dist prompts.

Thanks Alan, owe you a beer!

Change it however best suites you. One of these days I'm going to have to stop in to Public works and say hello.
